2" Body Lift & 2" Suspension Lift Finally Done

[cooperman]

Finally finished my 2" Body Lift and 2" Suspension Lift today.
Just Waiting for my Panhard rod bracket to be made then all will be completed.

2" Body Lift kit from Xpajun Off Road.
Landcruiser Springs From Milners.
+2" Front & Rear Desert Fox Shocks from Roughtrax.
Free Wheeling Hubs from Roughtrax.

Also did a full service while i was at it ready for the winter months.

Have attached before and after photos.

Now ready for some greenlaning/OffRoading in the Essex area hopefully.

Looking good and a job well done

Looks good what size tyres are you running and what is the measurement from centre of hub to wheel arch?

4" more than it was before

Looking good there, fella.

Apart from the parts named did you add/change anything else for the two lifts?

Room for bigger tyres now too! (33s would look a treat!)

[puddlesurfer]

That's a bit of a Microsoft tech answer! Whilst technically correct its absolutely no use what so ever

Looks wicked mate and a lovely looking truck. I'm in the process of gathering the bits for the exact same mod

Don't shout!

Anyway, nice work, although it doesn't look as shiny as it did in the first photo.

You dont mention 2" on the front! if it's BJ spacers your tracking/camber will be miles out now, or did you crank up the bars?
looks good btw

[stormforce]

when i fitted my balljoint spacers and cranked the t/bars up i never had the tracking done on my old 3.0 and there was never any wear on the tyres due to the lift

Thanks for all the comments,

I'm still running BFG 31x10.5x15 AT's at the moment would like to put 33's on but as ive already got a couple of spare 31's, and the ones on the truck at the moment have plenty of tread so i think i'll stick with the 31's for now.
I will measure the distance from hub centre to wheel arch and let you know.

I had to fab up some brackets to drop the radiator and some plates to raise the front bumper but nothing a welder and grinder didn't sort out.
I had already made a plate up to move the brake load sensor on the rear axle so that was just a case of moving the bolts up.
Should have the Panhard rod drop bracket next week so will be fitting that aswell.

The front was already lifted about 1.5" by cranking the torsion bars, and had the tracking etc done so only needed a couple of more cranks on the torsion bars. Will get the tracking etc checked again just to make sure its all ok and don't tear out my tyres.

Yes i admit my truck doesn't look as shiny as before the lift but it could do with a good wash and polish. Plus over 5 years of use has took its toll a little bit i think.
With a bit of Off Roading it will look even dirtier than it is now.

Just thinking what to do to it next, thought about 4 spotlights on the roof, not sure what lights to use yet, but i'll have to see how cash goes. Maybe after Christmas who knows.

you didn't needto do the rad on the 3.0 but just take the lower part of the rad shroud off.As the rad cap is on the rad not like on a 2.4 where the rad will need to bew lowered to the same amount of the bodylift

[cooperman]

I know i didn't need to drop the rad on the 3.0Ltr and to just take off the lower part of the shroud, but i thought i might as well do a good job and keep all the hoses as they were, as opposed to moving them all out of alignment by 2". Just me being picky really.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Is yours a factory fitted winch? because the front valance doesn't look standard .

[stormforce]

thats fair enough.You'll end up being like Bushy and have everything perfect,but if the jobs worth doing then it may as well be done right
